Today I spent time at my part-time job of attending medical appointments. I don't recommend it as a career choice. The money and hours are lousy. It takes more than it gives.
Today was a lab appointment, a 6-month surgical follow-up appointment (who knew?), and an oncology appointment. I was there for about 3 hours.
I'm about to start cycle 5 of drug X, and the side effects for my feet are becoming a bit much. The oncologist decided to lower the dose. I was relieved. The hope is to get through 8 cycles of this drug (6 cycles at the least). If I had to continue on the current dose, I have doubts I would make it to 6 cycles. My feet are very red and becoming sore. We'll see how it goes on the lower dose.
Greg wasn't able to attend this appointment, so I went solo. Every appointment, I have a little more hair to show off in the picture. Very exciting!
